Interesting fact

The 1 Rappen 1804 coin from the Canton of Lucerne made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the Helvetic Republic, which was a short-lived republic that existed from 1798 to 1803, and was replaced by the Swiss Confederation. The coin's design, featuring the coat of arms of Lucerne and the value of 1 Rappen, reflects the political and economic changes happening in Switzerland during that time.
